there's no doubt that the obama campaign has more confidence. they've expressed more confidence than any campaign i've covered with the exception of clinton campaign. on the romney side it's more mixed. but they believe they'll win. we could see a flow one way or the other. we could see one of the candidates tyke the preponderance of the battleground states. if they divide them, it's going to be a very close race. that's when the question of recounts and overtime and lawsuits could come into play. i think neither side is going to give this up lightly. it's not a case where we've seen in some elections where one side loses on election night and says you know what, for the good of the country, let's step aside. i don't think we'll see that if it's close. >> michael, if you're chairman of the rnc this morning, where are you looking for this election to be decided? is it as simple as ohio? >> i think it starts in new hampshire. i think in a lot of respect new hampshire is the linchpin which is why the governor is ending his campaign there. where he

what does that say to the obama campaign? they're going to be able to keep pace with these late-breaking undecideds and split them, if not come out ahead. and on the other point, i think it's fundamentally a view of what's the electorate going to look like on election day? because you do talk to romney folks who believe that this wave idea is real, that they see evidence of that in the national polling of vulnerable incumbent president which we know to be true, and despite, you know, overperformance it seems in the polls in a state like ohio that romney can have such an impressive election day. so i think it's really a question of what does the electorate look like? is the obama coalition of african-americans, hispanics, women and younger voters, as sizeable as they expect it to be that it keeps that edge all the way through election day. >> you know, john, the other thing is what's the evidence that undecideds have broken in one direction in a presidential race? basically the only evidence everybody points to is back to 1980
